"Lerner's world-building and extrapolating are top notch." -SFScopeHowever wildly people had imagined First Contact? They never imagined this.They weren't supposed to be there. They hadn't planned to be there. But neither had they planned for the near-catastrophic explosion that had all but destroyed their interstellar passenger vessel.There was somewhere on the far fringes of what the rustic locals-for all they knew alone in the universe-egotistically capitalized as the Solar System. But however primitive these humans, scarcely spacefaring at all, they were the last, best, and-however vanishingly small-only hope for the few surviving passengers of the starship Greater Good to avoid lingering deaths on some remote, icy rock.And the crew of the tiny spaceship Andrew Carnegie? They entertained no plans beyond keeping secret the identity of their destination asteroid, exploiting its storehouse of precious metals, and fantasizing over how to spend their anticipated wealth. The universe, once again, didn't give a damn what anyone had planned¿...."One of the leading global writers of hard science fiction."-The Innovation Show

Air and water not endlessly recycled. Food that had not been freeze dried and rehydrated. A few quiet days at home. And, if he can just figure out how, ripping off the company a bit.

With the body count rising, even the vast fortunes at stake cease to matter-and only the Company Man has a chance of averting interplanetary disaster.If he survives ....
